Iran on Thursday rejected a G7 statement which called on Tehran to stop supporting Hamas militants and taking actions that «destabilise» the Middle East. Tehran's comment came a day after foreign ministers from the G7 group of advanced economies, meeting in Tokyo, expressed support for «humanitarian pauses and corridors» in the Israeli-Hamas war. Israeli air strikes have pounded the Palestinian territory of Gaza since Hamas gunmen stormed across the heavily militarised border on October 7 to kill more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians, and seize around 240 hostages, according to Israeli officials. The subsequent Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza has killed more than 10,500 people, two-thirds of them women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The G7 also called on Iran to «refrain from providing support for Hamas and taking further actions that destabilise the Middle East, including support for Lebanese Hezbollah and other non-state actors.» On Thursday, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani «strongly condemned» the statement by the group which includes the United States, Britain, Germany, Canada, Italy, France, and Japan. He said Iran has engaged in «non-stop efforts to stop military attacks of the Zionist aggressor regime (Israel) on the defenceless citizens» in Gaza.

France's much-debated immigration bill veered towards the right overnight as senators removed an article that would have facilitated residency permits for undocumented migrant workers in sectors struggling to find staff. President Emmanuel Macron's plans to overhaul migration legislation in France has long been delayed as it struggles to find enough support, underlining the difficulty of lacking an absolute majority in parliament. The government had tried to please the left and right with a carrot-and-stick approach that would have sped up the expulsion of illegal migrants while making it easier to obtain residency permits for those who work in sectors in high need of workers, whether it be to work in a restaurant or take part in harvests. Tuesday night's agreement — pushed by conservative and centre-right senators — could increase the likelihood of the bill passing, since it relied on votes from the right. Before that change was adopted at committee level overnight, members of the conservative Les Republicains in the National Assembly had planned to abstain on the law, a source from Macron's Renaissance party said. The lower house of parliament will have the final word on the law in December. But Tuesday's move also created tensions among the majority's ranks, suggesting debate on the bill is far from over. «They're doing as if there were no employees without documents or employers that need these skills.
